The save button will be present if you have a playlist directory set up. It doesn't have to be writable, just readable. I've always created my playlists outside SlimServer and I just wrote a little perl script to modify the path from my windows machine where I created the m3u file to how slimserver sees the files. This past weekend was the first time I tried to show my wife how to create a playlist of songs she likes without me doing it for her. After setting the whole playlist up, I hit save and the left pane (using fishbone - love it!) was updated, saying that the playlist already existed. I've got tons in there, so I just figured it was there and renamed it. Got the same message. Looked at the permissions on the drive (running FC3 with the latest nightly) and it was 744, owned by root. Not sure how that happened, but slimserver was obviously not going to be able to write with those permissions. I changed the owner to slimserver and voila! I could save the playlist. Brilliant! There's got to be a better way. The web interface is convenient, but I can only create a playlist without affecting any of my clients (slimp3, sb1, softsqueeze). Is this right? I had to fire up softsqueeze on my windows box, have slimserver recognize it, change slimserver to point to the correct ip address (simple dropdown in fishbone), and create the playlist. Minor annoyance, but it would be nice if I could either figure out a decent xwindows player to create playlists or create playlists from some sort of cli.
